speaking with? Today at work, I had a customer call several times (5 before noon), wanting somthing that I could not give her.. each time she became more rude and condescending. I was trying to be nice... and settle her down, nothing worked. (what I really wanted to do was just jump right through the phone lines and confront her in person!) But being the co-owner of the company... and having an obligation to be professional, I could not even put her in her place, in a way that would have satified me... I had to forward the call to my business partner.

I know what you mean... I had a woman call my business once and talk down to me because she thought I was just the secretary. She totally belittled me and when she came to the store and realized I was the owner and not the "dumb" secretary, her face dropped. She apologized over and over but I've never forgot that incident and I treat people with more respect now even if they're on the phone.

I use to work in a call center when I was going to school. And the only thing that would get me thru with the nut job phone calls was:
I would say to myself THANK GOD I am not related to these people, and I don't have to spend the holidays with them. It helped a lot!

Thats when you imagine them running around on their cell, freaking out and accitdently getting hit by a bus because they didnt look both ways.

Well shoot.. there goes my theory of how people who ask questions like "will you scratch by back?" or "does anyone want anything while I am up?" here on Q&A.
I commend you for your patience and professionalism.
